Chapter Ninety-Two: Golden Creek Manor
The next day, when Eric successfully passed the knight exam, many people were shocked by the news. Because the fiery storm of Romeo and Juliet is still sweeping through Laika City, and even beginning to spread throughout the Dawn Empire.
This is thanks to the Bard Academy, which distributed the script to its counterparts in the various territories of the Dawn Empire.
Eric's becoming a knight has led to a reaffirmation that every good bard is mysterious.
The fifth day of the month of the year (i.e. June 5)
Ever since the knight's exam, Eric has been taking the time to learn magic.
He had also set the order of learning the magic he knew. But now he found that this was redundant, because of the Philosopher's Stone, he spent ten times more time learning magic than other wizards, and he didn't know a lot of magic, so he learned all the magic he knew.
Eric, who felt that he could still construct several spell models within his soul, was now filled with a desire for a magic book. He discovers that there is never too much magic at his disposal, and that different magic has its own great role in different situations.
No wonder many people say that wizards are polymaths, even if they are representatives of evil, they are also representatives of learned evil.
Today is the day when Eric accepts the mission of the Brotherhood of Thieves, and after Jack introduces Eric to the superiors, the Brotherhood of Thieves sends someone to observe Eric for a period of time, and finally determines that Eric is eligible to accept the task.
At night, Eric, who used the "Transfiguration" to blur his appearance, followed Jack to the "Knife Licking Blood" tavern, which is a famous gathering place for adventurers in Laika City, which adds a lot of life to Laika City in the middle of the night.
At the moment, there are binge-drinking adventurers, bards hooking up with women, priests and soldiers drinking to themselves.
On the second floor of the tavern, a hot woman in leather armor was standing with her back against the wall. When she saw the badge on Eric's chest, there was a gleam in her eyes. Eric thought Jack was going to take him into the room, but stopped in front of the woman.
"Is that him?' Sea Shark, you have to think clearly, the assessment task is life-threatening, isn't it good to be a famous bard?" the woman said, looking at Eric with interest.
"Let me introduce you to Lord Crawford, codenamed 'Black Widow', who is in charge of following you on this mission. With that, Jack quickly left the tavern with a nervous look on his face.
Before leaving, Jack uses "teleportation" to tell Eric not to get too close to Crawford, because many men have died at the hands of this woman.
After looking at the woman in front of him for a while, Eric found that although the other party did not belong to the category of beautiful women, he was very attractive, especially the hot body, which could easily make people look at her and linger.
"Why? Am I fascinating? You men are such creatures who only know how to think with their lower bodies, and playwrights like you are not good things, but you are okay, according to our investigation, you have not deceived those ignorant girls. This is the first time, and the next time you dare to look at me with such rude eyes, I will ruin the capital of your man!" Crawford handed Eric a piece of parchment.
Erik, who took the parchment, knew that what was written on it was the content of his mission.
"Golden Creek Manor?Fishman's eggs?" Eric's expression was a little stunned after reading the content of the mission.
As for the impression of the fish-people, Eric still remembers the creatures he saw at the bottom of the cliff at the bottom of the cliff when he was at the Manor of Batista, and used human corpses as meat food.
The territory of the Dawn Empire is separated by a "U-shaped" bay. This bay is known as the "Bay of War", and it is a symbol of the Empire's deal with the Sea Tribe.
Laika Town is surrounded by the Cloud Forest on the left, and War Bay is not far away on the right, and Golden Creek Manor is located on the shore of War Bay.
Golden Creek Manor is a place that has been abandoned for many years, as it has long since been occupied by a group of fishmen. It's not that I didn't think about recovering the manor, but the number of fishmen combined with the geographical advantage made the owner of the manor return many times in vain.
Fish-people have no concept of hostility, they only have the concept of territory, and all creatures that enter their territory are considered aggression.
Seeing Eric's stunned expression, Crawford said in a mocking tone, "What? Are you afraid? Doesn't the little boy have the strength of a knight? How can you be afraid of these creatures with incomplete brains." ”
Eric sneered: "Auntie, being old doesn't mean having a high IQ, the creatures with incomplete brains in your mouth include fish-man warriors, fish-man hunters, and even fish-man wizards." ”
Hearing Eric call himself Auntie, Crawford's figure suddenly disappeared, and the figure that appeared immediately followed was close to Eric's body, and at the same time, a cold dagger was pressed against Eric's throat.
"Isn't it cool on my neck? Where do I look like an aunt? If you don't make it clear, don't blame me for leaving some marks on you. At this time, Crawford was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his expression was a little crazy.
"Isn't it cool down there, too? If you don't take the dagger away, I can't help but slip my hand and there will be an extra hole under you. Eric's smile was very low.
Crawford's fair cheeks were red and blue for a while, and finally she looked at Eric with her silver teeth and said, "You're really nasty!"
At the same time as she succeeded, Eric also used a dagger against her, but it was pressed against her crotch, and he shamelessly pushed the furrow to show it.
Eric's heart was sweating, he originally wanted to dodge Crawford's attack, but the other party's speed was too fast, he couldn't catch Crawford's figure, so he had to shoot in a hurry, and he originally wanted to resist the dagger in Crawford's abdomen, but he also misjudged and put it in such an embarrassing place.
Of course, Eric didn't feel any killing intent from Crawford, otherwise he would have directly created a "Wind Shield", and then killed Crawford as quickly as he could.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, this dagger is not mine, and I'm not used to using it for a while!" Eric's hand holding the dagger withdrew first.
Eric was telling the truth, the dagger belonged to Stewart, but Crawford didn't believe it, and she decided that Eric had deliberately humiliated herself.
Crawford's expression was very reluctant when she withdrew the dagger, she looked at Eric and snorted coldly and said, "Remember to inform me when you go to complete the task, I will wait for you in the distance, whether it is life or death, I want an answer." ”
Thinking that the sooner the task was completed, the better, and Eric had precious time, not only to memorize the books in the Bard Academy Library, but also to familiarize himself with the portrayal of magical runes.
So Eric said to Crawford, "It's just tomorrow night, but as far as I know, the fish-man's eggs only serve one purpose, so why is my mission to steal this thing?"
"It doesn't matter if you tell you, because there are nobles who are in dire need of this thing and have spent a lot of money to enact this task. Crawford's expression was a little gloating.
The fish-man's lair is not so easy to break into, otherwise the fish-man eggs that have a miraculous effect on the aphrodisiac effect would have been taken by the adventurers long ago.
Eric nodded and asked another question, "This....the line described above won't be a problem, right?"
"You can rest assured of this! This mission is relatively easy to complete, and it is still a two-star mission that Sea Shark has fought for you, which is the lowest level of our remaining mission. Crawford says there is no problem with the lines marked on the parchment.
The next night, Eric arrived at the place where he had made an appointment, a small cabin not far from the shore of the bay, and when Eric entered the cabin, Crawford was already waiting in it.
"If you don't come back at dawn, whether you're dead or not, this mission will be considered a failure. We Brotherhood of Thieves don't want people who can't even do this kind of task. After Crawford finished speaking, he jumped directly on the beam and sat down.
Sitting on the beam, Crawford's tight buttocks under the leather armor looked round and moving, which made Eric can't help but look at it twice, and Crawford said in a cold voice after discovering Eric's lewd gaze: "What are you looking at?"
"Oh, I'm looking at your leather armor, where is it made? I want a set too, it's so neat and simple, it's many times better than the adventurers wear. "Eric can't say he's looking at your ass.
However, the leather armor on Crawford's body really attracted Eric, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have a good eye, this is a leather armor specially made by our Brotherhood of Thieves, not only the defense is amazing, but also has some different functions, if you successfully join us, you will be allowed to choose a set at that time." Crawford proudly explained to Eric.
Eric listened to these words and left.
Looking at Eric's departing back, Crawford's brows furrowed slightly: "Strange, why didn't I notice someone approaching, could it be that this guy still has the blood of the Night Elves?"
Crawford, of course, didn't know that in his actions, Eric unleashed a "muffler" on himself, which was the Zero Ring magic that Jeffrey Scott Landor had left in "The Energetic Argonian Maid".
Unfortunately, in this book, Jeffrey Scott Lando only mentions the two zero-ring spells, "Contempt" and "Silencer". Eric, who also learned some of the basics of the magic array, felt that the content was a little less, and it would be nice if there were more records of magic.
Once on the shore of the bay, Eric carefully observed the nearby fish colonies to see if there were any rules for their patrols. Eric felt that it would be best to achieve his goal without alarming the fishmen, because even if he could kill a few dozen fishmen, he would definitely die if he faced hundreds.
Not to mention the fact that it is still in the sea for a while.
After performing the "stealth technique", Eric quickly ran towards a rock, and after a few somersaults, Eric hid behind the rock.
Then he slowly touched the sea, and he still had to swim to Jinxi Manor!
"What a mission!" Although it was the middle of the year, the special geographical location made the weather still relatively cold, so Erik, who had just dived into the sea, cursed secretly.
